Chapter 5. 3D Graphs

To draw a 3D Graph with KAlgebra select the 3D Graph tab
and you will see an input field at the bottom where you will type your function.
Z cannot be defined yet. For the moment KAlgebra only supports
3D graphs explicitly dependent only on the x and y, such as (x,y)->x*y,
where z=x*y.

Examples:

(x,y)->sin(x)*sin(y)

(x,y)->x/y

The view can be zoomed and moved with the mouse. Using the wheel
you can zoom in and out. Hold the left mouse button and move the mouse to rotate the graph.

The left and right arrow keys rotate the graph around the z axis, the up and down arrow keys rotate around the horizontal axis of the view. Press W to zoom in the plot and S to zoom it out.

In the 3D Graph menu you find these options:

Save (Ctrl+S) the graph as image file

Reset the view to the original zoom in the 3D graph menu

You can draw the graphs with dots, lines or solid styles in the 3D graph menu

Below is a screenshot of the so-called "sombrero" function. This particular
graph is shown using the 3D graph line-style.
